DECO Can Help with New Health Insurance Marketplace Coverage Options

New health insurance marketplace coverage options can be difficult for uninsured patients, especially with the stresses and misconceptions that surrounded the arrival of the Affordable Care Act. As a Navigator, DECO is trained and ready to handle the customer service, education, enrollment, follow up, and next actions for new enrollments using the Affordable Care Act marketplace.

We at DECO our both proud and humbled to help those who have never had access to health insurance before through every step of the new health insurance marketplace coverage options process. With DECO, you can trust that we have been thoroughly trained and are well-practiced in successfully helping Americans in getting health insurance they need.

As with every DECO team member, we bring that close to home, small business feel to every interaction, putting faces and names together with everyone we help. We make doing the business, and a very important business at that, a pleasure, making sure that everyone is helped to the fullest extent possible. Our meetings are pleasant, where our team members are focused on dispelling myths, providing facts, and leading those uninsured patients to the actionable steps to obtaining coverage.

We are equipped and practiced at handling not just question and answer but every step of the process, such as coordinating the acquisition of Medicaid forms, informing those patients every step of the way on what the process is, and how to proceed. Trusting DECO Recovery Management is ideal in helping South Carolinians get the coverage that they need. As only one of two approved for both small business and individual Navigator services, we are happy to liaise any and all Affordable Care Act marketplace setups.
